Good morning friends. I'm asking on behalf of a pal who has been invited to the UK by the uncle. However, in the column "Do you have a family in the UK?" in the visa form, there is no option of "uncle". Pls, what should be done? Thank you.

Good evening Gurus in the house. I got my passport yesterday via courier and I was denied a tourist visa to France. Only one number was ticked in the refusal form...
"Justification For the Purpose and conditions of the intended stay was not provided"

Please experts should assist me in explaining the stated reason for denial, as I'm confused as we speak. Thank you all and God bless.

The Entry Clearance Officer,
The Deputy British High Commissioner,

Hi. Am about to write my cover letter. Please who do I address it to? Is it the deputy high commissioner or ECO (what does this mean, is it Entry clearance officer?).

220k is your net monthly salary, while 50k is your monthly living expenses.

N220,000 - 50,000 = N170,000.
170k is your disposable income when you minus monthly living expenses. If you follow this thread keenly, you'll see that spending more than twice your disposable income for a short trip is highly discouraged.

Twice your monthly disposable income is 170k x 2 equals 340k.
Since you have someone to accommodate you, easy. Get cheap flights like 200k, you still have 140k to play around with.

The bottom line is work with N340K. Plan very well, you surely can draw a good budget with 340k.

Nycil:
Just want to know if the budget of 450,000 is okay.

Just buy a train or bus ticket from Heathrow airport to Manchester.

If you have someone in Manchester they can help you buy a ticket with national express or any train company.

Or you can buy right there at the airport when you land though it will be more expensive

Good morning house. I did my biometrics at the TLS office at Ikeja on the 17th of January, 2019. Today makes it 22 calendar days and 16 working days and I'm yet to receive any mail.
As a silent follower of this thread, I've observed applicants been sent mail if the processing time exceeds the standard 15 working days for visit visas. What should I do if I don't get any feedback today? Thank you all.

I would advise you Cut the budget lower, book cheaper hotels on booking dot com, lower flight ticket budget. A little over 400k should do.

I asked because various contributors have adviced applicants not to spend above 2 months of their monthly net income. Two months of my net income is 510k.

Happy weekend gurus in the house.
My net salary is 255k. Two months is 510k. In a bid not to exceed two months of my disposable income, can I budget 500k for a 10-day trip? I plan applying for a visit visa soon. Thank you in advance. God bless.

I'm planning to apply for a visit visa January 2019. My situation: I've been working since 2013 but got a new job June last year. I've a house in my name. Utility bills (Nepa) in my name and my address.

My little reservation is I'm 17 months old in this my new job and I wouldn't want the ECO to assume my job ties is not strong because of longevity of service.
My account is just okay. No outside deposits except my monthly salaries. No cash lodgement whatsoever. Please gurus, advice. Thank you all.

Vo: have you travelled out of your country
Me: nah neva had reason to
Vo: we sorry bla bla
Hands over the blue sheet, enjoy your day

Whr did i go wrong?

Methinks not getting any traveling experience was the reason for the visa refusal. Applying for a tourist visa to the United States with a virgin passport limits the applicant's chances of getting the visa to less than 1%!

I already talked on it right on this page even, you could take a cue from it.

Well, login to your profile and click on update profile and change the DS160 confirmation number to the new, then save. If you scheduled an appointment already as it seems, just click on appointment confirmation in one of those boxes on your profile page and print or send yourself a new one (be sure everything tallies sha oh, cos I dunno if the CGI people have shifted goalpost on this matter just lately).

"I dunno if CGI people have shifted goalpost on this matter later"... You got me laughing out my ribs! Lol
A quick one, as you rightly observed, an appointment has already been booked. If the profile is updated with the new confirmation number and saved, a box indicating "appointment confirmation" will pop up uh?

Nothing.... It is lost, and can't be found nor retrieved. Cousin has to fill a fresh one, simple.

Thank you for your swift response. After filling out a new form with a new DS 160 confirmation number, how will he update his profile so that the new number can reflect in the appointment confirmation? God bless you richly.

Hello House. As I earlier said yesterday, I am new here. The question I am about to ask may have been answered in earlier threads, but please, someone should help out as it is pressing. Thanks in advance.

Please, he needs to retrieve and complete the form. What can he do?"
